Grooming Updates
January 16- all the trails were groomed today. THANK YOU Jon, Paul Greer and Tom Wiard.
Big Pine will melt out in a few days - so ski it now! The middle trails (lollipop, Nordic woods #7,8,9,10)) are good. Elk Run loop is the best. The snowmobile club groomed Divide Road with their Cat. So you can ski the road to get to 11.
Updates are available via Facebook, Instagram (uncompahgrenordicassociation) or by weekly E-blasts to your inbox.
